SNOU180A June 2021 – September 2021 LM74701-Q1
The LM74701-Q1 evaluation module (LM74701-Q1EVM) helps designers evaluate the operation and performance of the LM74701-Q1 ideal diode controller with integrated VDS clamp. This evaluation module demonstrates how an N-channel power MOSFET can emulate a very-low forward voltage diode with low IQ and low-leakage current flowing through the IC. In this design scheme, the LM74701-Q1 is combined with a MOSFET and used in series with a battery as a replacement for a Schottky diode and PFET, in reverse-polarity protection circuitry as shown in Figure 2-1.
